Couple says they are ‘traumatized' after being attacked by three small dogs in their yard
A Georgia couple says they are traumatized after their neighbor's three small dogs ran onto their property and attacked them – prompting the husband to now pack his pistol every time he steps outside his home. Surveillance footage captured the moment dogs belonging to Melody and Michael Barnhill's neighbor rushed across their front lawn and into their garage, where they attacked the couple on Memorial Day. Video shows two small dogs, later followed by a third, run up to woman and chased her into the garage as she shrieked in fear. It's unclear what breed the dog's were. 'I was just screaming at the top of my lungs,' Melody told WSB-TV. Her husband, Michael, came rushing to her side. Footage shows him swinging a plastic watering can at two of the dogs as he screamed, 'Get off her. Get off her. Get off her.' Despite his efforts, the dogs turned on him – with a third joining in on the attack. 'That's when that one really got into my leg. The second one came up,' he said. Michael suffered serious injuries to his leg and groin – and said his doctor told him he was lucky he didn't bleed out. At one point during the attack, Melody went to grab her gun, but was unable to hit any of the dogs, she told the news station. The Barnhills said the dogs' owner, a neighbor, watched the attack unfold but had 'no sense of urgency' in helping to stop it. Animal services removed the dogs but said they couldn't ensure they wouldn't return. The Barnhills were also upset that the owner was never cited for the incident. 'They should not be back. And the owners should be cited,' Melody said. The couple was also upset after learning from a county official that the dogs had bitten someone else in another neighborhood. Now, Michael says he packs his pistol whenever he leaves his home. 'When I open up this garage, I gotta have my gun on my hip at all times because you don't know what you're going to walk into,' he said. Officials are investigating the incident. The neighbor involved could not be reached by WSB-TV.

Man avoiding angry wife breaks into random home for dinner and bath, FL cops say
A man desperate to avoid his angry wife made matters worse when he sneaked into a random home for dinner and a bath, according to investigators in Florida. The intrusion happened June 9 in Davenport and resulted in the man being charged with burglary, according to a June 15 Polk County Sheriff's Office news release. Investigators likened it to the 'Polk County version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.' 'The homeowner wasn't going to be around for a while, so he asked his neighbor to bear the responsibility of watching over the house. That neighbor did a fantastic job too,' the sheriff's office wrote on Facebook. 'One night, the neighbor saw lights going on and off within the house, so he called the homeowner, who in turn contacted the PCSO. ... Deputies went to the residence and found (a man) inside, cooking, and he had just finished filling the tub for a bath. We assume the bath temperature was not too hot, nor too cold, but juuuuust right.' When questioned, the 44-year-old man conceded 'not only did he not have permission to be there, he also had no idea who owned the house,' the sheriff's office said. '(He) told deputies that he had gotten in a fight with his wife, and he didn't want to go home, so he chose to (enter) someone else's home instead,' the sheriff's office said. The man, who had no criminal history, reported he had been staying at the home four days, officials said. He was charged with felony unarmed burglary, misdemeanor petit theft, first offense, and domestic battery, jail records show. Details of what led the man to that particular home were not released. Davenport is about a 45-mile drive southwest from downtown Orlando.
